Mr. Tommy: The Ballet God


 
Mr. Tommy, one of my ballet teachers, is seriously a ballet god. He has taught me just about everything I know. He has taught me some serious technique. But what is more amazing then his talent, is the way he has inspired me. After long nights at the studio, he keeps me going. It doesn't matter how hard he pushes all of us, we still keep going. He has shown me that ballet is a hard thing. But if you dance with more than just your feet it's a lot easier. He means we need passion in order to truly be a dancer, and to truly succeed. One of the reasons I'm writing about him is because I feel like he represents ballet itself. He has passion, strength, and love for ballet. He has everything I want as a ballet dancer.
